thunderbird 60 won't start
TB was working fine, suddenly shut down. Tried restart, and it hangs on the opening page, then "not Responding" at top bar. Have to shut down with windows Task Manager. Tried rebooting 3x. Tried new download of TB 60, still hangs. Tried TB "Safe Mode" start, same problem. Running Win 7 pro on a Pent.4 off a SSD. T

Does the problem go away?
I restored to a prev. point. Turns out that IBM Trusteer/Rapport had updated itself. It's a legacy security program, I've now deleted it. Thanks for your suggestions.
